chapter Five

The Wells Empire, a province close to the dividing line between gods and demons.

Regardless of whether it is a divine empire or a demonic empire, the land bordering the dividing line between gods and demons always looks a little different. Not only is it more lively than other borders, but even the folk customs tend to be more diverse. If the residents of this country want to experience it,

Exotic customs, you don't have to go abroad, you can achieve your wishes by going near the dividing line between gods and demons. But for ordinary citizens, they are still willing to travel to other places and rarely come into contact with these special lands.

Because this is a piece of land on the edge.

Since ancient times, the land connected to the dividing line has no clear and standard national boundaries. The so-called definitions on those exquisite maps are just for show. As long as there is no war, the specific boundaries will continue to change. In fact,

, there are many towns that have long been built in the dividing line, far beyond the location of military camps during the war, and have existed for several years. The only livelihood these towns rely on is to provide a large number of slaves to the empire behind.

.

The more prosperous these places are, the more various ancillaries that accompany this abnormal economy. The further away from the country, the more chaotic the public security situation is. Not only are there no official officials, but even the patrolling priests of the Demon Temple appear very frequently.

It is rare to go to these places. Most of the forces that control these places are alien forces belonging to a certain family... Here, catching a few slaves is not enough. You have to get rid of the slaves smoothly to make money.

Behind the hugely profitable slave trading business lies the intricate interest relationships of various prominent families.

Starting from the territory of the Wells Empire, we followed the trade road. As soon as we left the national border marked on the map, we arrived at the largest slave market in the Wells Empire section of the dividing line between gods and demons - Viper Town. Then we walked forward.

If so, it would be the warehouse of the "hunters".

Viper Town does not produce vipers, but is named after its architectural layout. Surrounding a tall tower in the center of the town, a circular street rotates and extends from the inside out. The terrain outside the town is low, and the center of the town is several square meters in diameter.

The only hilltop for ten miles. From a distance, this town looks like a ferocious viper coiled on the sand with its neck raised. In this unstable area, there are many architectural styles that are conducive to defense.

But among them, Viper Town is the most famous.

There are large and small auction houses on both sides of the street, and the fences are filled with slaves waiting for price. Men, women, old and young, of all races are available for selection. If you are not satisfied with the slaves here, there is a large auction house in the center of the town dedicated to selling them.

High-quality products. Except for wars, the centralized auctions held three times a day are never interrupted. Since they are high-quality products, of course the price will be a little higher.

After the customer selects the slave he is satisfied with here, he can entrust it to the escort on the spot. As long as he pays enough freight, they will transport the slave to any country in the Demon Alliance, and they will compensate for any losses on the way. The whole process is rigorous.

And professionalism ensures the continued prosperity of the industry to the greatest extent. Most of the people who come here are related to the slave trade.

But at this moment, in a small shop on the edge of town, there were two customers sitting who were absolutely not interested in the slave business. One of them was Shania Gironde who had escaped, and the person sitting opposite her was the one she was chasing.

The little samurai on top... It can be seen that this little warrior has no autonomy at all in front of Xenia. He doesn't even dare to look at Xenia.

"Have you done anything wrong? Otherwise, you are just planning something wrong." Although she is still dressed in the same way, at this moment, Shania's behavior is no longer the irritable young lady before. Her posture is elegant and upright.

Sitting at the table, her beautiful big eyes blinked, "Be honest! Why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing, it's really nothing." The little Wu Tu quickly lowered his head and drank the water carefully.

"Confess! In the name of a devout follower of the Dark Lord, I promise you that I will never hold you accountable for your faults." Senia's bright and innocent big eyes looked at the little warrior, and a white finger was dipped in water.

Drawing small circles on the table, "If you repeatedly conceal the truth, it will be considered contempt for me, and I will have to punish you. How are you going to explain it to the instructor at that time?"

"Senior sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this is a matter within the mentor clan. If I tell you, I will be punished, and this place is not very fun." The little Wu Tu finally plucked up the courage and raised his head to face Xiani.

Ya said: "Wait a minute, I will help you prepare a comfortable room. Senior sister, you can play here for a few days and then go back! You don't have to wait for us to come back."

"If it's just for fun, I don't need to come to this place." Nikko of Xenia looked outside the store, "I'm also the Jinxun warrior from the first demon palace in Sunset Plains. Why does this kind of thing require the dispatch of a dozen instructors?

,I don’t know any information in advance?”

"I told you that this is a matter within the mentor clan!" The little Wu Tu lowered his head again and whispered: "In this operation, I am only responsible for delivering the news. How do you know the reason why the mentors did not inform you?

?”

"By talking like this, does it mean that you are not afraid of my punishment?" Shania chuckled softly, "The Demon Palace's regulations state that any action that involves dispatching ten mentor-level warriors must be informed to fellow palace warriors Jin Xun. You don't know this now?

The act of reporting is that you don't take me as your boss seriously, have you forgotten? Jin Xunwutu has the responsibility of inspection, and even the mentor is subject to my supervision."

"Senior sister, don't be like this! You are already a Jinxun martial artist, and you don't need to worry about the instructor's censure at all, but I am different! I haven't even started training yet! With just one word from my instructor, all my years of hard work have been in vain." said the little martial artist.

He begged, "Senior Sister, please be kind and let me go this time! If anything happens in the future, I will tell Senior Sister as soon as possible."

"Your answer tells me that this is not a secret operation of the Demon Palace at all, but a task you accepted privately because you were greedy for money. The price offered by the other party is really good, and even the mentor is willing to work for it." Shaniayue said with her fingers.

After finishing the last circle, he said, "But I will never tolerate this kind of deceiving the Demon Palace. If you don't want to have your title of warrior revoked, you'd better confess immediately."

At the end of the day, Miss Senia is still the same cute, rude, and funny young lady? She almost looks like a powerful judge.

"Senior sister, it's true that I took the money, but please understand my difficulties." Seeing that his pleas were ineffective, the little Wutu changed his approach, "Although I have a low status, I also know that this kind of thing is unknown.

It's impossible to meet with the higher authorities, so it's not a concealment, it can only be considered a non-disclosure. Senior sister, there's no need for you to be in trouble with the high priest!"

"Whether I want to bring down the erring priest, whether I can bring down the erring priest, that's all my business, you don't have to worry about it." Shania's tone gradually turned colder, "Now, this is your last chance.

"

"Sister, I've said all the good things to say, don't push me anymore!" The little warrior's eyes flashed with a glint, and he said threateningly: "This is not the Sunset Plain where you can dominate. There is no king here.

The dividing line between gods and demons in law! It’s just the high priest who makes you dissatisfied, so why do you drag me into this? I’m just a little martial artist."

"You are not young yet, and you are still talking like a child. Of course you have to start with the details." Shania smiled slightly, "Demons belong to a place without officialdom, and priests exercise all rights. There are no priests, and patrolling warriors do it. You don't

Have you even forgotten this clause? If you accept money privately to do things for others, you know what the consequences will be."

"Of course I know it." The little Wu Tu laughed wildly and stood up, slapping his palm heavily on the table, "But I also remember that the battle between Wu Tu caused casualties, and the remaining survivors do not have to bear any responsibility!"

"You want to resist." Miss Xenia was not surprised by the outcome. "Have you thought about it carefully?"

The little Wu Tu had a gloomy face, "You forced me to do it. If my mentor knew that I was the one who leaked it, I wouldn't be able to escape. Senior sister - I'm offended!" Before he could finish speaking, the little Wu Tu

Tu Yi's sword stabbed Miss Senia's throat at a tricky angle and struck very quickly. It was actually a very cruel move.

Shania crossed her sword in front of her to block the sharp sword coming across the table, "No wonder you have the courage to resist me. It turns out you learned the God-Destroying Sword."

"No, Junior Brother, I have just learned. I would like to ask Senior Sister for some advice." The little Wu Tu put away his sword and came back. After answering, he stabbed again. The sword was entangled with fighting energy, and the cups and saucers on the table broke under the force, and the fragments flew in all directions.

Shania kept a smile on her face, drew a circle with the long knife in her hand, swung away her junior brother's long sword, said: "It's not even close!", and then stood up with a soft "zheng" sound.

, the dazzling silver sword was unsheathed.

With a "crash" sound, the table between the two people collapsed due to the pressure of fighting spirit, turning into a pile of firewood. The other people in the small shop had long been accustomed to such fighting, and at this time they all found places to hide, outside the shop

A large country was invaded, but no one came to stop it.

With a roar, the little samurai once again charged forward with his sword, launching round after round of fierce attacks at Miss Senia. Although he was short in stature, his sword skills were extremely powerful and violent, and compared with the fairy

Miss Nia's elegant and agile sword skills were almost evenly matched. For a moment, the light of swords swirled in the small store, and the sound of "clang" metal collision was continuous.

"Aren't you going to stop?" During the fight, Miss Senia yelled, "Damn it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Senia's long sword drove straight in, breaking through the billowing sword light. The blade of the sword slapped the little warrior on the forehead. The fighting spirit of the little warrior immediately dissipated, and the person was shaken.

He staggered back a few steps, and finally hit the doorpost. Where he was struck by the blade, a blood mark slowly emerged, with a few small blood beads seeping out from the edge. This was because the kind-hearted Miss Senia had shown mercy, otherwise,

This little warrior's head had to be separated from his body.

"Aren't you awake yet?" Miss Xenia took a step forward, holding the knife, "I'm not the only one who knows about this, there are other Jinxun warriors coming, and if it falls into their hands, you're afraid...

I didn’t even have a chance to talk. If I hadn’t missed the old friendship, I wouldn’t have bothered to take care of your business.”

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for keeping me here, but my hands are itchy. I have already accepted other people's money and there is no way to turn back." The little samurai smiled, "Senior Sister, I know I am not your opponent, but I hope that Senior Sister will understand me and let me die in the end."

You have to be like a warrior."

After saying that, he pointed the long sword in his hand at Miss Senia. The fighting energy surrounding the sword was expanding and contracting. Its rhythm was very similar to the heartbeat. No matter the color or shape of the fighting energy, there was something strange about it.

"It's not that there is no room for redemption, but you actually used the Purple Destruction Divine Sword on me." Senia's expression became solemn, she held the sword across her chest and finally persuaded: "With my martial arts, I can take this move.

Do you really want to die if I just kill you?"

"Purple Po————The God-Destroying Sword!" The little warrior roared, and the fighting energy on the sword instantly turned purple and burst. Seven rays from the front and back were fired towards Miss Senia.

This is one of the highest-level martial arts that demon secular warriors can access. Seven lines of fighting spirit are followed by very fierce sword moves, which is quite powerful.

Xenia used her long sword to strike away one by one, but did not receive the sword move from behind. When the fighting spirit was gone, she looked attentively and saw that the little Wu Tu by the door had disappeared. Only then did she realize that she was on the other side.

Dang! Miss Xenia raised her eyebrows, stamped her foot, and chased after her. She was really angry this time.

Just after chasing him to the door, he heard a cluttered sound coming from the street. Looking through the dilapidated sign hanging outside the door, the little Wu Tu looked back while running, but he accidentally bumped into a tall black man walking in the middle of the street.

The fight between the two men was not short. How could the little warrior think that someone would not avoid him at this time? But at this time, there was no other way. The little warrior could only use his luck to hit the black man.

people.

The force of the collision was very strong, and with a "bang", the little warrior's long sword fell out of his hands and he staggered back.

Seeing such a scene, Shania felt angry and funny. Among the junior fellow apprentices in the Demon Palace, this little man was usually quite obedient and well-behaved. The reason why she chased her here was partly because of her duty, and partly because she didn't want to be a little kid.

Junior brother has gone astray. Even if you catch him, you will probably give him a lesson in private, and in the end you will help him cover up the past.

The man in black rushed forward, grabbed the clothes of the little Wu Tu before he fell, and held him firmly. His movements were accurate and the strength was appropriate. His quick reactions and agility were admirable and worthy of praise.

A handsome character, if he were to go to a place with simple folk customs, there would be little girls screaming for his free and easy movements...

However, his next move surprised everyone.

He grabbed hold of the little Wu Tu, but refused to let him stand firm. There was almost no emotion in his cold eyes.

In the Demon Alliance, those who are qualified to wear all-black warrior uniforms must have a certain status, not to mention dressing in pure black from head to toe. Only noble and high-level warriors are qualified to wear such clothing. And let the fairy

What made Miss Nia unhappy was that the man in black also covered his face with a black cloth. She thought that Miss Nia had to go through five levels and defeat six generals to gain this right.

"Little monkey." After a moment, the man in black shook the little warrior in his hand, "Your eyes are covered by your pants?"

The poor little man Wu Tu was now defenseless and scratching on the ground in vain with his toes, but he couldn't stand. His horrified eyes first looked at this man in black who didn't know where he came from or what his identity was, and then turned around.

Looking back at Miss Senia, she was shocked and embarrassed, and besides being caught by others, her face was so painful that she almost squeezed out the water.

"I'm talking to you, but you still have the time to look back at me?" The man in black raised his hand and gave the little Wu Tu a loud slap in the face, then slapped him again with his backhand, and paused.

Unexpectedly, he continued to hit him with unsatisfied "pah, pah, pah," and after several consecutive hits, the little man's face had already gained a lot of weight.

The little samurai resisted fiercely at first, but his behavior was in vain. The force of the slap was also strengthened a lot. Although there was a million reluctances in his heart, he still shouted vaguely, "Master,

Senior sister...help."

Although it will be more miserable if it falls into the hands of the senior sister, the senior sister is kind-hearted and will definitely not finish the game. But if the evil star in black is allowed to fight again, the life of the little martial artist may be lost here. High-level martial arts

The temper of earth is more weird than the last.

Although she was angry at her junior brother for being ineffective, but considering that the most he could do to her was to run away without resorting to killing moves, Shania decided to take care of the matter. After all, her junior brother had a good relationship with her on weekdays, and she was responsible for the current situation.

The reason for his bad mood... More importantly, this man in black is so arrogant that he doesn't take himself seriously.

"Have you beaten me enough?" Shania stepped out of the store and said loudly: "I just bumped into you, it seems I don't have to pay for my life."

"I am happy, do you care?" The man in black didn't even raise his eyes to look at Shania, and his hands were not idle either. When he spoke, he clicked twice again. The poor little martial artist,

The corners of his mouth were already bleeding.

"Jinxun Wutu of the Demon Palace, titled Xingyue Phantom, the inspection is here, your Excellency, please stop!" Shania turned around, and when she faced the man in black again, a golden shawl appeared out of thin air on her shoulders.

The onlookers felt their eyes were blurred and had no idea where the shawl came from. When they heard that it was a high-level martial artist, everyone in the street immediately ran away.

As soon as the spectators dispersed, a special bystander stood out from behind. This man was tall and wearing a well-fitting sky blue robe. Under the soft breeze, a few strands of golden hair exposed outside the hood could not help but sway.

, although he is also a cloth-covered martial artist, he is indescribably chic and elegant...

This blue-robed warrior is, of course, Duke Sweeney Hepburn.

He had caught up with Shania two days ago, but found that Shania had changed after leaving him, so the kind-hearted Duke suspected that the reason why Shania was always unhappy was because she was by his side.

.

Out of guilt, he did not show up, but just protected her secretly. Fortunately, he was standing behind Shania and was not discovered. If Shania saw him, she might become rude and rude again.

!

The man in black laughed and pushed the person in his hand away. The little man vomited blood and flew out. His butt broke through the wooden wall of a store on the street and he just "hanged" on it. His face was already swollen.

Become a complete "pig head", without even the strength to shake a finger.

This seemingly random action of the man in black surprised Shania and Siwes - the wooden wall has high toughness, and it is not easy to punch a hole in it with the body of a living person.

, what’s even more difficult is that the hole is neither big nor small, just big enough for a person to hang on.

"I didn't realize that such a cute girl like you is actually Jin Xunwutu." The man in black clapped his hands, as if he had done something trivial, "What you say is good, I guess you have good skills in your hands."

solid?"

Like his style, his tone of voice is also a bit strange, but where the strangeness lies is unclear.

"Whether it is solid or not, you will know after you try it." Xenia patted the long knife at her waist, "I have already reported my name, please report back according to the rules."

"It's your own business to say your name if you like, why should I respond to you?" The man in black snorted coldly, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

Seeing the arrogant look of the man in black, Xenia became angry and the atmosphere became very unfriendly.

A snow-white bird circled the street several times, then turned and rushed down, landing firmly on the shoulder of the man in black.

Shania, has put her hand on the handle of the knife. (To be continued)
